For the most recommended Korean movie, 50 percent chose "Taegukgi" followed by "Take Off" and "The King and the Clown".
Changdeok Palace was the top cultural asset that the survey participants suggest be introduced to foreign leaders. A doll donning the Korean attire "hanbok" was picked as the best traditional gift and spicy "ddeokbokki" rice cakes as the best Korean street food.
